Two former Parramatta Eels players are accused of harbouring semi-automatic weapons and possessing more than half-a-million dollars in cash after dramatic arrests in Sydney's Centennial Park yesterday.

Xie trial photos reveal horror scene

The family's shoes sat neatly at the front door and a set of car keys lay on the kitchen bench - the scene that greeted Sydney police when they entered the Lin household betrayed nothing of the horor of the family's fate.

But upstairs was an entirely different story, with graphic photos from Robert Xie's trial revealing the gruesome, shocking sight that confronted officers on July 18, 2009.

The crime scene photos shown to the jury show blood spattered on the bedroom walls at the North Epping home where five members of the Lin family were found bludgeoned to death in their bedrooms.

The photos, publicly released for the first time on Monday, show a blood-stained door handle and blood smears and gouge marks on one of the bedroom walls.

Robert Xie was found guilty in the NSW Supreme Court last week of murdering his brother-in-law Min "Norman" Lin and four family members. It followed a six-month trial.

Fuelled by resentment and humiliation at his perceived "inferior" status in the Lin family, Xie crept into the Sydney house and bludgeoned Mr Lin, 45, Mr Lin's wife Yun "Lily" Lin, 43, her sister Yun Bin "Irene" Lin, 39 and the Lins' two sons, Henry, 12, and Terry, 9, with a hammer-like object.

A key piece of evidence was a blood spot that was found in Xie's garage and labelled by police as "stain 91".
